Bangers and Mash with Onion Gravy

My daughter loves sausages and enjoys dipping them in mashed potatoes, so I surpriosed her with this easy bangers and mash with onion gravy recipe. The gravy had a nice tang due to the Worcestershire sauce and it paired nicely with the brats and creamy mashed potatoes. This meal was a big hit with both of my kids and my husband who took the leftovers to work today and I have a feeling my daughter will be requesting this meal again soon.

Bangers and Mash with Onion Gravy

Onion Gravy:

• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 yellow onion, sliced thinly
• 1  clove of garlic, minced
• ½ tbsp flour
• ¼ cup beef broth
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Mashed Potatoes:

• 3 russet potatoes, peeled & cut into thirds
• ⅓ cup milk
• 2-3 tbsp butter, to taste
• Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste

Bratwurst:

• Cooking spray
• 5 Bratwurst sausages (or sausage of choice)

How to Make Bangers and Mash with Onion Gravy

Make the onion gravy by placing the butter and olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.

Add the minced garlic and flour then cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Slowly add the beef stock and Worcestershire sauce while stirring constantly. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes or until sauce thickens. Taste and season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.

Meanwhile, make the mashed potatoes by cooking potato chunks in a large pot of salted boiling water until fork-tender.

Warm the milk and butter in the microwave for 30 seconds.

Drain the potatoes then place them back into the pan.

Add the milk/butter to the potatoes along with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.

Mash using a hand masher until creamy and smooth. Taste and re-season if needed. Place lid on the potatoes until ready to serve.

Cook the sausages while the potatoes are cooking and the onion gravy is simmering, by heating a grill pan over medium-high heat then coat with cooking spray.

Add the bratwurst to the pan and cook, flipping occasionally, for 10-12 minutes; making sure all sides of the bratwurst get grill marks and the sausages are cooked through.

To serve, spoon some potatoes in a bowl then top with onion gravy and a bratwurst. Sprinkle the top with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately. Enjoy.
